Description

A tall section of dry-stone masonry rises at the centre, built of flat, thin stones laid in courses, with a lower wall running off to the left. Large rough blocks frame the left edge, and behind the ruins the excavated ground and pale earth slope away under an overcast sky. The ground in the foreground is a level excavated surface with soil and loose stones.
